Mark says, "Kelvin Pittman and Mark E. Kaylor (who are Kinetic Harpoon) will be presenting a monthly series at the Waypost which will be an open forum for the community to participate in ad hoc improvised music situations.

Basically we'll play a short set together, because we enjoy doing so, and then anyone who shows up with an instrument can play some music with us and others. Kelvin and I will probably curate this to some extent so everyone gets a chance to play.

This is open to anyone regardless of experience, gender, instrumentation, etc.

No. Fest returns to Portland on June 25th and 26th featuring a ton of improvisers including the Creative Composer's Community of Portland, Eet, Doug Haining Quartet, Blue Cranes, JP Jenkins, David Ornette Cherry and more. Check out the full roster at: nofest.net.
